Guild Wars 2

I’m working on the Fashion Achievement The Emperor’s New Clothes, which requires soulbinding 90 pieces of unique cultural armor. I’m at 66/90.

Does the character buying the armor have to be the right class and level to be able to wear the armor for the armor to count toward the achievement?

Example: I took my level 22 Asura mesmer and bought the tier 1 and 2 light armors, the skins of which were still locked. They became soulbound and the skins are unlocked, but they don’t seem to have increased the total for the achievement. The level requirement to wear tier 1 is 35 and tier 2 is 60.

Had you already bought T1 and T2 armors in medium or heavy? You need 18 unique tier pieces. Go to your achievement panel and open up the Asura part of the fashion achieve. You’ll see a checklist of what you’re missing.

You can buy the pieces on any character, regardless of whether or not they can wear them, and they will count for the achievement. Just make sure you only buy 1 of each piece (helm, shoulders, chest, gloves, legs, and boots) from each of the three tiers. Duplicate pieces won’t count towards the achievement. So, for example, if you have already bought the tier 1 medium helm, buying a tier 1 light or heavy helm won’t count towards the achievement because you already bought a helm.

Thanks. That part always confuses me.
